What it says on the tin. I'm a woman of a certain age and therefore by default must be a mad old baggage

Cuts and Pits

Late last Thursday afternoon we took a walk along the canal in Rushall and through Park Lime Pits. The variety of flora and fauna at this time of the year is amazing and everything looked stunning. The heron was about as always.

We are so blessed to have such beauty on our doorsteps even though we live in an urban jungle

Wild plums are everywhere, we counted at least five different varieties. We now have 14 jars of beautiful wild plum jam. We've called it Parkies Jam.

This is Walsall....the bit you don't see from the M6! Tranquil, lovely and surprisingly rural. This is the Walsall I love.
